96 SeaDoo XP rotax 787 stator replacement

[C.J.]

I am new to your forum and am looking for some additional information that I have not found through searching, thanks in advance or any help.

I might be picking up a 96 xp at a very good price with freshly rebuilt engine, only problem is it does not have spark. I have narrowed it down to most likely being the CDI box or stator, after talking to the mechanic who has been working on this seadoo he suspects that it is the stator which he said are about $200 new.

My question is if there is a writeup for replacing the stator on a 787?

I am new to PWC and not all that familiar with 2 strokes but have quite a bit of automotive knowledge/experience and don't plan on paying someone to do the labor if I buy the xp.

Welcome to the seadoo forum C.J.. You will need a special tool to remove the stator from the 787 engine. Here is a suggestion if you don't have a seadoo manual. You could join the forum as a "premium member". As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and privet use. There are operator manuals and repair manuals for you to do your own repairs on your seadoo. The repair manuals have everything from troubleshooting, repair procedures to winterizing. It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps, carburetor rebuilds and impeller wear ring tolerances. Click on the "Seadoo Manuals" link at the top of the page for more details. If you need any help or get in a jam, we are always here to answer your questions too. Premium members get priority when it comes to getting quick detailed answers.

Thank you for the information and I was just looking at the premium membership but will hold off until I am sure I will be purchasing this ski. If you wouldnt mind answering another question, where can a person buy the tool required to remove the stator? Price?

I think the only place to get it is at a seadoo dealer. Go to " www.seadoo.com " at the top click "dealer locater" add you zip code and give them a shout. The web site has a great dealer locater, with phone numbers and a map. Also on the site is a parts breakdown area. I don't think the tools are listed but the dealer can help you out. Keep us posted if we can help out any more.
